coincidence, when last night I was filling up in the local petrol station, when an elderly gentleman came up to me and said "is your car alright?" I said yes I think so?? why?
he then said "because it sounds terrible"..............lol, my engine is very quiet, but I have the gundo/PSE hack and she does "burble" a little, and I only have the 1.5 inch bore, with teckart exhaust tips.
but to the uninitiated a flat 6 (boxer/Subaru type) do sound lumpy..
bless him.

You buy the pipe work pre-bent from ebay, that what I did, then just cut it the the desired length and the ends to the correct angle for welding, easy._________________http://euroroadtripper.blogspot.co.uk/

Might get my exhausts on my 997.1 Targa 4 modified....anyone recommend a good garage or welder to do the 'Gundo Hack' somewhere near Bracknell/Reading/Guildford area in the UK?

Thanks

im local to you (GU12)
and had to travel to Hayes to get mine done, they did a good job of the exhaust, but I could not recommend them because they did not treat the car properly, and there was "hidden extras" on the price, they advertise on ebay for the gundo hack £299 fitted.

May be a bit far to travel, I had my 997.1 C2S "hacked" last week by Brookspeed in Southampton, price was ok £350, service was OK, sounds brutal... I made a short video on Saturday but it's very poor, I'll do another one this weekend & post it

I have a C2 3.6. Anyone done a gundo on similar engine and have a video? I imagine the C2S would be slightly different sound?

You can do it on the gen 2 , but there are mixed reviews. Am getting it done next week on my gen 2 with a 2" by-pass.

I have also discussed with the exhaust shop about doing a similar hack on the centre box section as it does not serve a purpose it would seem but reduce noise levels.

Am going to attempt to do some decent before and after video's as its been a nightmare trying to find any solid info. Just a lot of posts saying its a waste of time. I've had a PSE on my 996/997.1/Cayman so hope i can give it a good review/write up._________________Porsche 997.2 C2S - Manual + PCCB + Sports Chrono -"Drivers Spec!"
